NEGRO WAS BOUND OVER
FOR STEALING GOLD WATCH.
Interesting Case Was Tried in Justice
Lambright’s Court Yesterday.
Mac Williams, the negro who was
arrested last week charged with the
larceny of a gold; watch, valued at
SIOO, was given a preliminary hearing
before Justice Lambright yesterday
and was bonnkt over to the superior
court under a bond of $l5O. There
were three lawyers in the case. J. T.
Colson represented the state, F. H.
Harris represented “Sugar” Williams,
another negro implicated, and D. W.
Krauts represented Williams.
It will be remembered that a few
weeks ago the News printed a story
of a Savannah, man coming to Bruns
wick, and, while in the tenderloin dis
trict he was robbed of some cash, his
watch and also his clothing. The ne
gro Mac Williams, last week, went to
